Abstract

A vehicle suspension unit (10) has two arms (11) joined together at one end (13) by a cross-member (14). Each arm (11) is formed from two Fibre Reinforced Plastic springs (15) separated by the cross-member (14) at the end (13) and by a spacing member (16) of resilient material, and secured together at another end (12). The ends (12) are attached to a vehicle structure and wheel mountings (17) are situated near ends (13), and the arms (11) are kept apart from vehicle structure, in the region of the spacing member (16), by constraining nembers (22).
